Building a Ridiculous Pointy Pyramid PC

So I bought this absurd glass and metal pyramid PC case. Now what? Let's build something with it! This project started off as a modern computer centered around legacy support, with PCI slots, serial, parallel, and PS/2 ports alongside an LGA 1200 CPU and DDR4 RAM. But then it kind of. mutated. With Linux

There is data that suggests growing plants, or placing objects in pyramid structures maintain the integrity of the structures placed inside or even grow plants better. If this were the correct dimensions and materials, it might have an effect similar to this. Preserving the molecular of integrity of the small parts inside, possibly prolonging the life and performance of a device, I'd love to see science done on this. I mean wikipedia will denounce this and call it pseudo science, but if it doesn't fit with an agenda, wikipedia calls it fake, I'd hope at least some people understand that these days.

I mean. trying to run a full modern X11 stack with full fat desktop environment was your first mistake. Xfce crawls even on the GeForce FX 5200 in my iMac G5 1. 6GHz. Plain window managers like fvwm, IceWM, and Window Maker make a world of difference -- and there's KDE Restorations for KDE 1 and 2 that patch the codebases to compile on modern Linux.
I find the 7000 series even starts to chug on software from the time -- Mac OS X gets a little choppy on my 900MHz iBook G3 with a 32MB Radeon 7500.

The reason XP doesn't install is the fact that Intel Processers higher than skylake don't support xp anymore (or so was to be. There is a specific way to install XP using modified drivers to allow for the OS to install. As for Windows 98, i also tried and never could get it past the win98 screen after the first half of the setup. How i got around the first half was creating a script to let the setup run, and also slipstreaming in xmgr (iirc) to bypass that weird ram limitation.

This crazy mish-mash of old and new build has tickled my PC-building gland too much. I tried to resist for as long I could but I've started gathering the parts for a PC that I can't justify owning but would be fun to build.
As to your issues installing Win98, MattKC did something along these lines and was. somewhat successful. He got it installed but the performance was beyond unacceptable. So even if you could there's nothing to be gained.

So! It seems that a kernel-based virtual machine might be something awesome to try on here with those PCI cards. Apparently you can pass specific hardware through to an older version of Windows that way, which would be a best of both worlds situation.
Lemme know if you'd like to see me try that -- or any other ideas! I'm really enjoying learning what can be done using Linux and this funky mix of old and new hardware.

I imagine that people who are not initiated in the PC master race illumintai lingo, look at your videos like i was looking at Star Trek engineers when they were talking about isolinear chips and plasma conduits. XD
Me, i just come here to listen to you because you are an absolute adorable wholesome nerd talking about gaming culture. My kind of dish!
GG man!

i had this Case a week ago in my Computershop where i work and the graphics card was faulty. it was a brand new RTX 30 Series Card paired with a brand new ryzen 9 5950X and an AIO.
The owner bought it and put it together by himself he did an absolut good job but what is going on these days with new hardware not working properly?

i think we should all remember that if LGR makes a video on building a pc, just remember that NO, it wont be a windows 10 gaming rig. regardless of the case's era, regardless of what hardware he even uses. he can even build a PC with an rtx 3090 and core i9, and at the end of the day, it is still gonna get windows 3. 1

If your computer runs poorly, just do what I do and blame Radeon. My current computer uses a Radeon R5 processor, and. Well, it runs pretty poorly as well. I can barely run games like Space Engineers once I get around 30 or so mods on, even with graphics settings turned down to the minimum. So yeah, Radeon sucks.

Your experience with Linux here has been my experience anytime I ever needed to use it for one thing or another. It's just one problem after another after another. Since the community is small, good luck finding the solution to your weird problem. As a YTer you might have an easier time with that than I did.
